“He had me from racetrack,” the two-time Daytona 500 winner said of his initial discussions with Bill Schottenstein, principal of Arshot Investment Corp., developer of the complex. “Having my hands on designing and helping to build a racetrack is very exciting.”
Waltrip and Schottenstein both declined to say how much the team invested.
The SPARC complex will include a half-mile racetrack with 8,500 seats, a 50,000-square-foot office building for the research center, 1,900 parking spaces, a hotel and meeting center, and four or five sites for restaurants or stores along Mound Street. (Columbus Dispatch)
